Roughly, the exam will cover all the material from Sections 17.1
through 17.5 of the textbook (Section 16.1 through 16.5 in 7E), with
the following two specifications:

We have emphasized the vector form of Green's theorem very strongly,
Formula 12, near the end of Section 17.5. (Section 16.5 in 7E).

We have talked extensively about the meaning of the curl of a vector
field in terms of angular speed of small paddle wheels inserted into a
fluid flow, and the meaning of the circulation of a vector field
around a simple closed curve in terms of a chain of boats floating on
the fluid flow, and the relationship between the two quantities (curl
and circulation) given by Green's theorem. This is material you are
responsible for. Here is a writeup.

Review problems: 1(a), 2, 4, 7, 10, 12, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 21. Scan.

Here is another Practice Exam.
(There is an error in the solution to Problem 4.3. The line integral
is equal to f(end)-f(start), so the answer is -5/2, not 5/2. The
answer to 4.4 is -7/2.)

The actual exam with solutions. The class average was 19.5/25.
